I hate christmas, all the extra traffic, the manic buying, the incesant "merry music" blasted from shops. The drunken "christmas parties" ,
I thought it was a religious festival not a self indulgent period.
Now I am not against other people have a festive christmas, but why do I have to cue for hours to get in and out of asda car park. The store is besieged with people stocking up for what is only one day of closure, and what do people do with all that bread.
there is also the christmas card game, the having to quickely send one back to someone you didnt sent one to in the first round but they sent you one, but telling them you have only just sent them all out.
If you have kids then it is a magical time, and I want you to enjoy the period, just keep me out of it. Most people come down to earth when they look at the credit card bill, or the bank balance (it is not so festive then)

Myself, I dont want my bells to be jingling, or my ding dong merily on high
I have to go for a lie down now, all the blood has rushed to my head, so i'm of to a darkened room.




by the way merry christmas

I read them , it took a bit of time, but read them I did.
It still does not detract from my epistle.
I have no desire to stop people having as much yo ho ho as possible, but this starts in mid november, and try as I might I am unable to stop the force feeding of the festive season right up my nose.
I hope everyones wishes come true, and they get what they want, sometimes its what they deserve !

so I hope you jingle your bells, and deck the halls, and your ding dong is extremely merry on high.

ps. I like grottos as they remind me of my darkened room.

Is there space in that darkened room for a little one........I promise to behave and be very very quiet.

I can't wait for it all to be over with.......the wrapping paper recycled, the baubles put away, the lights neatly boxed away and the pine needles swept up.........and normal service resumed in the shops.

Yes, Merry Christmas and a happy thingy.

Well, if I was ever in a Police line-up, I wouldn't want you to be their star witness, you just gave my description to the world, except for one very important point, I do not, never have, nor will I ever own a red suit. (According to rindy, such an ensamble would clash with my bloodshot eyes).
As for Christmas starting in November, I'm almost certain in fact I'm absolutely bloody sure, it started in September.
Can't wait for January the second when the Easter eggs are back on the shelves.
